For our photography, we have learnt a few things about the studio and the equipment.
before taking a picture in the studio, you first of all need a background which is called a backdrop which could either be white or black, colourama. there is nothing worse than having a busy background in a studio. There is to be 2 flash lights called the trinity. The reason there are trinities is so it freezes an object. using the studios main light is not always neccessary. When i was in the studio i have used a white black drop and took the pictures with the lights turned off. Having the light turned off has given my background a smoother look rather than having a full white background. There was soft boxes in the flashlights (trinity) which is grided. This diffuses the light. It helps the shadow bounce off the face and the shadow dissapears. It also creates a perfect symmetry of light. I have learnt that the poly board bounces back light onto the model and gives a shadow to the face. it was in the shape of a circle. the reflector board was also in shape of a circle, however it has a different function. it has a gold, and a silver side. the silver side of the reflector gives a sharper tone to the face while the gold side gives a warmer tone to the face.
Having the model close to the background may make the model blend in with the background making them look like they have a floating head. This is why it is important to have the model closer to the camera and inbetween the 2 flashlights.
The soft boxes light could get brightened. the lowest brightness is 1 and the highest it brightens up to is 6. This could be used to make the face have more shadow or less shadow by having it brighter.
